Have you ever had a detangling orgasm?  Well, if you haven’t let me tell you about my experience. I’ve been wearing Havana twists for a while, having them redone about every 2 months.  The beauty of a protective style means I don’t need to buy any new products so getting my...

I tried another flat twist but this time I used a different pattern, straight back flat twists.  I recorded it here: http://youtu.be/tGJfiZPfFws  I actually like this style much better and it was easier to put the flat twists in going straight back. I think it turned out well and this time...

I finally tried a flat twist out for the first time ever!  I recorded it here:  http://youtu.be/iHviua7cMaU Although it turned out well, it took me 40 minutes to put in 6 twists.  I did the flat twist out on hair that had been in a bun.  The curl pattern turned out very different from my...

I have not had a good trim in 7 months, other than clipping off the ends of my two strand twists on my own.  I was going to try a new salon but when I drove over to make the appointment I was told that a trim was $100.  I made an appointment for a trim at another salon that I’ve used...

I decided to try my Goody Spin Pin bun on freshly washed natural hair to see if it would look as great as the Goody Spin Pin bun done on an old twist out.  I did not use a comb or brush or gel.  I used only a Goody elastic band, a small comb as a “stopper” and a Goody Spin Pin....

I needed a quick style and ended up trying this bun on an old twist out. It took only a few seconds to achieve this style after I moisturized my hair.  I filmed the process here: http://youtu.be/-bUy31Vy6rM This style was done on an old twist out. I sprayed my hair with water, added my leave...

You can achieve a high and full bun on short to medium length natural hair without weave.  One of my hair sisters uses this style  and I decided to give it a try after wearing a twist out for a week.  If you can twist your hair, you can do this style. Only a few inches of hair are needed....

I ordered Moroccan Henna powder and organic indigo powder to dye my hair and did a strand test on shed hairs to see what color I would get.  Some people call this mix henndigo.  I used one teaspoon of henna and mixed it with warm, bottled water.  I used one teaspoon of indigo and mixed it...

I finally tried the Naptural85 a twist out method on my natural hair as demonstrated for her mini twists. I am not interested in trying mini twists but decided to try her mini twist method after my husband’s two strand twisted locs did not come out all that great after he tried a new...

I decided to try a honey and olive oil deep conditioner on my natural hair to add moisture and shine. I put together a video clip here: http://youtu.be/GTA6CcoN28c I am preparing to do my first henna treatment and know that I will need to moisturize more often so I am trying something new....

I have been on the hunt for a salon to do a good blow out on natural hair for a long time.  I have tried a few salons and thus far I have not gone back to any.   Joseph Tyler Salon, may be different. I have walked past this salon many times over the last five or so years but I never went...

Most of you who follow my blog know that I have been trying to get day 2 or day 3 hair immediately after wash day.  It typically takes my hair a day or two to fall the way I like it after I set my twist out on wet hair.  Well, I have finally gotten second day hair on day one!  How did I do...

I decided to give Mowrah butter a try as part of my fall and winter hair care.  I want to keep my hair moisturized and seal with a butter.  Mowrah butter reminds me of a cross between cocoa butter and shea butter.  It is not as hard as cocoa butter but it is also not pliable like shea...

I have been looking for a butter to use on my natural hair for the fall and winter to seal in moisture.  My most recent butter is avocado butter.  I was expecting it to be more greenish like the fruit but my butter, ordered online, is more yellow.  It’s not really a butter...

I have been wearing my La Efrah half wig but it’s a little too “Diva” for work so I picked up La Aleka, also by Vanessa.  The curl pattern is slightly looser than La Efrah but it can still be blended using two strand twists on your own hair.  La Aleka is also shorter than...

I bought a new wig, Vanessa “La Efrah”, to blend with my natural hair.  It was $22.99 at a local beauty supply store.  I was debating getting a new set of Senegalese twists for the fall ($200 with the braider I like) but decided to use a wig instead.  There are not a lot of...
